Also, contaminated water that is ingested can present E.coli. 
If left untreated E.coli toxins (Shiga toxins)destroy red blood cells in a process called hemolysis. This can lead to kidney failure and death. ]]> 2020-11-23 17:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gschoenfeld12/p7o9yv9drnip8rqn/wish/953395711 gschoenfeld12 https://padlet.com/gschoenfeld12/p7o9yv9drnip8rqn/wish/953467296 To prevent E.coli throughly wash hands, counters, cutting boards, and utensils after being exposed to raw meat and vegetables.
